Tennis Personnel Outlook: 1972 Coach Steve Lunt, currently starting his fourth year as coach of the varsity tennis team for SCCJC. He came from Kansas State Univer- sity and Fort Hays Kansas State College. Fall Meets This is the first fall that a schedule has been developed for the junior colleges in the western division of the Jayhawk Confer- ence. The fall program is result- ing from a combined effort of the tennis coaches at Hutchinson and Seward County Community College to develop interest in the sport at the junior college level. Schools competing this fall will incl-ude four-year colleges from Kansas and Oklahoma and junior colleges from Kansas, Ok- lahoma, and Texas. Team Personnel Barry Dies, Haysg Sophomoreg returning letterman. After a good first year, Barry is returning with the lesire to win this coming year. This last summer saw Barry competing in various open tournaments across the state of Kansas. His stroke execution has improved greatly over the previous year: he has the confidence and desire. Norman V ol z, Greensburgg Sophomore, returning letterman. Even though he had some dis- appointments his freshman year, Norman is a good tennis player. With the playing experience of last year, the additional summer practice, his game will snow the improvement needed. Steve Rinehart, Liberalg Freshman. I feel quite fortunate that Steve decided to attend SCCJC. Steve has the ability and potential to be one of the best tennis play- ers. He is a complete player and the strong competition of this fall and next spring should do ad- ditional wonders for him. Mike Weaver, Liberal: Freshman Mike is another individual with good potential. Mike had a rea- sonably good year at Liberal High School, but really began to concentrate on his tennis playing this last summer. He is looking forward to a good year. Allen Keller, Greensburgg Freshman. Allen is coming off a Greens- burg High School team which has won their league champion- ships for the past approximately 30 years. He is currently work- ing on developing an aggresive style of playing which is a ne- cessity on the junior college cir- cuit. Allen is another of the fine boys which SCCJC has been for- tunate to receive from Greens- burg. Jim Kanton, Greensburgg Sophomore: returning letterman. Jim gained much experience as a freshman on last year's squad. This year he will provide much needed depth to the squad. Mark Enns, Liberalg Freshman Mark is another of the Liberal High School graduates to contin- ue with the Saints. At present, I would have to consider Mark as a good, average player. He has excellent desire and wants to compete. He has a good chance of making one of the six spots on the squad. This will be the best all-around squad that the college has field- ed in the last four years. An in- teresting fact is that if this .par- ticular group of men had been- at the college four years ago, they could have won the state cham- pionship. How they will do this year is difficult to say. Compe- tition this fall will be extremely difficult. Also, the other junior colleges in the state have been doing a building program simi- lar to oursg as a result, all the other schools have gained strength. Yearbooks available Students who enrolled full- time both semesters last year are being asked to stop by room 322 at-Seward Coun-ty Commun- ity College and pick up their copy of the 1972 Trumpeteer, the college yearbook. Students who are unable to come by should mail their ad- dress and S1 for postage so the yearbook can be sent to them. New instructors This year at SCCC there are two new instructors: Mr. Ray Blum is the new in- structor in the data processing department at S.C.C.J.C. After graduating from Larned High School, Mr. Blum continued his education and graduated from Fort Hays State College receiv- ing his degree in business ad- ministration. Mr. Blum presently lives at 2100 Bellair Court with his wife, Grace, and their children, Eliza- beth Anne, 4, and Mary Anne, 8 months. Mr. Blum says, Liberal is a friendly and cooperative tonm, and I feels the new college will offer better advancement for its students. Mr. Frank Rausch is the new track coach and athletic instruc- tor at SCCC. After receiving his high school education at New Castle, Pennsylvania, Mr. Rausch continued his education at West- mar College and graduated from Eastern New Mexico University where he received his master's degree in physical education. Mr. Rausch has had past teaching and coaching experience at Rockwell High School in Rock- well City, Iowa. But this year is his first year of teaching at the community college level. Mr. Rausch presently lives on New York with his wife Jan, and their child, Shaelly, 4. Mr. Rausch says he likes Lib- eral, and feels the future looks good for Liberal and the new SCCC campus. College Choir The college choir numbers around 30 members tnis semes- ter. Preparations are being made to join the Community Chorus for presentations of the Christ- mas program in December. The -choir's music varies from Bach to rock. For the spring con- cert, the choir is working on a rock cantata, The Creation, a very interesting piece of this generation. Clarence Hooper, di- rector, hopes for a tour of area high schools either between se- mesters or in the early part of the spring semester. The music department has an exciting year ahead. The choir is open' to all college students for one hour's credit. There's al- ways room for more singers. In- terested? Contact Mr. Hooper. 38 Fashion stuclents begin tall tours The Fashion Merchandising class has started its series of tours of the different types of retail stores in Liberal. On September 15, the students were given a tour of J. C. Pen- stock room. According to Cheri Van Sickle, instruc- ney's Mrs. tor, the tour gave the students a better understanding of how merchandise is received and cared for, before it is displayed for purchasing by the customers. The tour covered such areas in business as shoplifting, record keeping, ticketing, price break merchandise, and stock clerk du- ties. The Fashion Merchandising class will be taking other tours similar to this one, with the pur- pose of getting acquainted with the different types of retailing stores in Liberal and how each of them differs from the other. Interpreters get set The Interpreters, a readers' theatre performing group, have a new look this year with cos- tumes being changed. First per- formance is October 22. Program topics this year are: The Cam- paign Trail, The World as View- ed by the Peanuts' Gang, and an annual Christmas presenta- tion. Two days for field trips to area high schools are planned for the fall semester. Any local group interested in using The Interpreters for a program should contact the spon- sor, Mrs. Lana Freeman, at the college. Alpha Eta Rho The first meeting of Alpha Eta Rho, SCCJC Aviation Club, was called to order by President Terry Lee, who welcomed all the new members to the club. For new business the club de- cided to have election of new officers next month. A commit- tee was selected to install the new members and new officers at the election. A motion was carried to have a money raising project Sept. 8 and 9, the project would be a car wash which would be held at the South Shamrock Gas Station.

College expands services in adult education The Adult Basic Education pro- gram at Seward County Com- munity College is helping to prove that the young school is exactly what is says - a com- munity college, serving as many people as possible, not just a select group. Robert Busby, Director of Adult Education at Seward Coun- ty, has taken the Adult Basic program from its infancy to the point at which it now stands, serving more than 400 students in Liberal and nearby commun- ities. Primarily designed to assist people in completing their high school graduation equivalency, the Adult Basic program also serves in such specialized areas as the teaching of conversational English to Spanish-speaking in- dividual in the Liberal area. Another program which has been conducted successfully through the office of adult educa- tion at SCCJC is the class, How to Get a Job and Keep It, in- structed by Mrs. Odessa Lewis. According to Busby, the college is looking for ways to help adults in this locale in the pursuit of basic goals, such as more edu- cation, better jobs, more satis- faction in the attainment of new job skills, and the chance to grow within present occupations in salaries and responsibilities. Last year, Busby established and coordinated two General Ed- ucational Development College Studies programs for people who wanted to complete their high school education in Liberal. He also conducted satelite programs in Hugoton, Elkhart, Meade and Sublette. A total of 172 people in the coIlege's area were served by the Adult Basic Education program last year. This year, the program is al- ready underway in two sections Cday and eveningJ at Liberal, and at Hugoton and Elkhart. Liberal has 43 adults working toward high school completion, Hugoton has 15 and Elkhart has ll. An addition to Busby's pro- gram this year is a typing class for adults, now being conducted at Hugoton-. A similar class is be- ing set up for Elkhart. Other projects occupy the time of the Director of Adult Educa- tion. Last spring semester and during summer school, Busby set up and directed a program to teach conversational English to people who speak Spanish as their first language. He is now conducting a survey to deter- mine which colleges and univer- sities in the nation will accept credits earned at vocational-tech- nical schools toward require- m-ents for a bachelor's degree. This will help him to counsel stu- dents about their occupational and educational opportunities be- yond their high school equival- ency completion. A unique feature of the Adult Basic Education program at Se- ward County Community Col- lege Studies class in which stu- den-ts receive a complete refresh- er course over all of the subjects offered in required high school curriculums. When the student finishes College Studies, he takes his G.E.D. examination for his high school diploma and receives four hours of college credit for his success in the program, if he elects to ask for the college hours. This gives a student his high school diploma and the incentive to begin college. Busby has seen several students enter college here through the G.E.D. College Studies program and go on to get a degree. One of his former G.E.D. students recently gradu- ated from SCCJC with honors and went on to seek a bachelor's ,. l- . .. ,jf wa, , fr' f '- 1412 'W' .ig H. 3-M K la K .... g , .Q , Ltr: N .. .. . as ,.,, . , in ,.,. .

Republicans elect otticers The Collegiate Young Repub- licans have elected officers and have become involved in this year's election campaign. Officers are Marci Lee, pres- identg Terry Cloud, vice presi- den-tg and Esther Schawo, secre- tary-treasurer. The club has participated in a car caravan and the Republi- can barbecue. They are also plan- ning a membership drive. It will feature free spudnuts in the Stu- dent Union and a meeting with Bob Frey, Seward County At- torney, guest speaker. 37 fi, degree at a Kansas four-year college. According to Busby, his job is probably one of the most re- warding at the college. He gets to work with adults. He gets to see confidence and ambition re- kindled when older students sud- denly realize that the door to in- creased educational and voca- tional opportunity is open again when they felt that it might be closed forever. We've had students from the late teens to the late sixties in age, Busby commented. It's not the age that matters, though, it's the fact that they have an opportunity to get involved again and to continue growing. Spanish students Visit Mexico Septemer 22-five Spanish stu- dents from Seward County Com- munity Junior College and their instructor, Melissa M a s o n e r, went to Juarez, Mexico. The stu- dents left Friday afternoon for a two day culture study of the Spanish people and their way of life. The five students making the trip were: Vicki Gillespie, Max- ine Swearingen, Cheri Van Sickle, Mike Van Sickle and Bruce Ross. The two days of touring the city of Juarez included visits to: a glass factory, arts and craft buildings, typical restaurants, old and new market, city fair, a bull fight and museum.
